The W7NIT is being co-hosted by Beantown RFC and Brown University Women’s Rugby. (Actually, the Boston Belles are co-hosting with Brown, but USA Rugby doesn’t want us to promote the event using the name of a team that isn’t “official”…) Here are details for the event:

Why would USA rugby care who hosted the event, since they did not want anything to do with it. I think it is great that team stepped up and wanted to provide a venue for teams around the country to compete against each other. Boston Belles hosted a great tournament (Providence hosted a great social) and I want everyone to recognize their efforts.
